Comic Book Superstar
If it makes you feel better
Consummate Hero
You make the world so vivid
As you spread the night.
If the world can play to the second
You could be President.
In touch with reality, not at all
Sky Kommandant, wilted in the shade.
We stood in puddles bloated
By your heavy glory.
You've built your golden horse
Tyburn high and decadent.
Scarlet Warrior, beware
You may go forth to break your neck.
The world of tomorrow!
We revert to type when you leave
Though you say you never will
Trial by savages, you smile and say
"I am Aurora personified
Your one hero, a superstar
Your Jesus Christ in real life"
It is not impractical thinking
To fully justify myself
By your fantastic failings.
Your Ground Zero rhetoric
To your Puppet Show Empire.
You could be President.
